What do you guys think about having a schizophrenia/psychosis chat room time each week? We'd need a designated time, but we'd get to know each other more personably. We could talk about our illness, how our day went or even recipes! Would anyone be willing to join in? All I would have to do is talk to DocJohn and get it set up. Thank about it. No pressure guys and gals.

Thanks for this!

I'll do another post tomorrow to poll what times people could come. Evenings would be better for me though too.

I think it's a great idea although I've no idea if I'd be on at the same time as everyone else being in the UK... a weekend in the Afternoon would suit me best. Would make it near bedtime here.

It's a good idea but all I have are my phones to get online with so I can't join in for now.

Yes. It will fit to whatever device you have. Private messages can be a little awkward, but you can chat pretty well now.

Hello all,
I just messaged DocJohn again. Hopefully he'll respond so we can get the ball rolling on this. Also, I messaged Sabby, an administrator. So we'll see how far this goes. If they don't respond then I don't know what the next step if.
Thanks for this!

My paranoid schizophrenic boyfriend seemed to come out of the worst of his psychosis a month ago when we were in court a month ago. The guy COMPLETELY forgot what he had done this last year in psychosis and wanted to talk to me and seemed to want to pick up where we had left off a year and a half ago, He filed another injunction agaainst me because I emailed him trying to find out what he was doing and how he was. It has been the year from hell for me and he just forgot it all?? WTF? How could he forget that he filed an injunction for harassement against me and said that he wasn't ready for a relationship when he had told me he was in love with me and then just expect that it didn't happen and he could just pick up with me where he left off in love with me???Makes NO SENSE! In any case the judge told him he couldn't have any contact with me AT ALL or I WOULD GO TO JAIL...he wanted to find out what he did and work things out with me? REALLY? LIKE NOTHING EVER HAD HAPPENED? I DON'T GET IT..IN any case, I am asking that he be involuntarily committed and that the IAH be dismissed. The judge abused her discretionary power and did not allow me a chance to present anything or even an witness and made fun of me for loving someone who was a schizophrenice and dangerous. SHE THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY AND NOW HE WANTS TO COME BACK TO ME...WTF???

Thanks for your effort Ody, hope DocJohn will respond, if so you will meet me there for sure
